French Craftsmanship Meets Modern Technology

Founded in 1921 in Thiers – known as the capital of French knife-making – Deglon has long combined traditional craftsmanship with modern production methods. Each knife is made with precision, optimal sharpening angles, and carefully controlled heat treatment to ensure the right hardness and flexibility. The result: professional tools that cut cleanly, stay sharp for longer, and perform reliably in both restaurants and large-scale kitchens.

Superior Ergonomics and Materials

Deglon places strong emphasis on comfort and hygiene. Handles are available in both classic wood and modern thermoplastics such as ABS and POM – materials resistant to heat, washing, and daily wear. Using advanced overmoulding technology, the joint between blade and handle is fully sealed to prevent food residue build-up, making cleaning easier and more hygienic. The well-balanced blades and ergonomic handles ensure comfort and control – even through long working hours.

Care, Maintenance, and Longevity

To preserve sharpness, it’s recommended to hand wash Deglon knives and dry them immediately after use. Models with wooden handles should not go in the dishwasher, while plastic-handled versions are more resistant to moisture and heat. Use a honing steel or whetstone regularly to maintain the cutting edge. Although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, small spots may occur after contact with salt, acidic foods, or moisture – quick drying prevents this.

FAQ

What’s the difference between forged and stamped blades?
Forged blades are traditionally shaped at high temperatures and often include a bolster for extra strength. Stamped blades are cut using modern rolling techniques, offering a consistent finish at a lower cost. Both provide excellent cutting performance.

Can Deglon knives go in the dishwasher?
Hand washing is recommended to extend the knives’ lifespan. Wooden handles, in particular, should not be placed in the dishwasher.

How can I prevent rust spots on stainless steel?
Even stainless steel contains carbon to maintain sharpness. Always dry knives thoroughly after use and avoid prolonged contact with salt, acidic foods, or water.

How do I keep my Deglon knives sharp?
Use a honing steel regularly and have them professionally sharpened when needed. This preserves both edge quality and knife longevity.
